Torrex™ Fire Upgrading Vinyl Matt System allows you to upgrade the fire rating of multi-layered previously painted, well adhered internal surfaces to a Class 1 fire rating without the need to strip or redecorate and provides a high level of long term decorative protection for areas of low risk.
The system successfully upgrades the Exova Warringtonfire Class 4 “Blue Board” to Class 1 when tested to BS476 Part 7 and leaves a stunning vinyl matt finish.
